Answer:
B) (35, 260)
Step-by-step explanation:
A veterinarian will prescribe an antibiotic to a dog based on its weight. The effective dosage of the antibiotic is given by d ≥ 1∕5w2, where d is dosage in milligrams and w is the dog's weight in pounds. Which of the following ordered pairs gives an effective dosage of antibiotics for a 35-pound dog?
A) (35, 240)
B) (35, 260)
C) (260, 35)
D) (240, 35)
Ordered pairs is composed of pairs, usually an x coordinate and a y coordinate. It refers to a location of a point on the coordinate. It matches numbers to functions or relations.
Given the relation between d is dosage in milligrams and w is the dog's weight in pounds as d ≥ 1∕5w²
For a 35 pound dog (i.e w = 35 pound). The dosage is given as:
d ≥ 1∕5(35)² ≥ 245 milligrams.
For an ordered pair (x, y), x is the independent variable (input) and y is the dependent variable (output).
The dog weight is the independent variable and the dosage is the dependent variable.
From the ordered pairs, the best option is (35, 260) because 260 ≥ 240

x + y = 3
x =6 - 4y
Solution
Use the top equation to substitute for x in the second equation.
x = 3 - y
Put this result into the second given equation and solve for y
3 - y = 6 - 4y Add 4y to both sides.
3 - y + 4y = 6 Combine on the left
3 + 3y = 6 Subtract 3 from both sides
3 - 3 + 3y = 6 - 3 Combine
3y = 3 Divide by 3
3y/3 = 3/3 Combine
y = 1
=========================
x + y = 3 but y = 1
x + 1 = 3 Subtract 1 from both sides.
x + 1 - 1 =3 - 1
x = 2
Answer
x = 2
y = 1
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
1. distribute 9 in 9(x+1)
9x + 9 = 25 + x
2. subtract x from the right side to isolate x onto one side
8x + 9 = 25
3. subtract 9 from the left side
8x = 16
4. divide both sides by 8 to get x alone
x = 2
